    Hi,

    Ok, i'll try and keep this short as i can! Bought box, worked great for 1 month, signal gradually got worse throughout one day, then next morning all channels no signal message. Tried box up mates house, worked fine. Swapped boxes with him, same problem here. All channels working fine through N*L box. Tried removing splitter etc no joy. Bought an attenuator which has had some effect - some channels now get a slight but blocky unwatchable signal, still most channels no signal...

    Any suggestions what i can try next or anyone had this issue before??

    Whats your signal strength, press info twice on the problem channels and report back the %.

    Hi,

    The signal strength bounces between 79-85 on most channels which i think it was when it was working fine. With the attenuator i get some kind of picture/sound on some channels when it drops to around 70-74%. Still most channels with absolutely no picture though. Have tried it upstairs on my broadband cable and same thing and my n*l box works fine so dont think theres anything wrong with the cable?

    May try another attenuator to try and drop it a bit more perhaps? Dont think there's anything wrong with the signal strength just due to interference/noise maybe that the eurovox cant cope with but n*l box can??
